Discover Annaberg and Buchholz

In the background the famous St. Anne's Church invites the Annaberg Christmas market in the heart of the old town. Let yourself be enchanted by the Christmas atmosphere.

St. Anne's Church, built 1499 - 1525, is one of the most important late Gothic hall churches in Germany. A special highlight is the sound of the newly restored Walcker organ from 1884 with its over 4000 pipes and 65 stops.

The mountain church of St. Mary was built directly on Annaberg's market square in 1502/03. Today, the church houses the miners' nativity scene, which combines the deep-rooted tradition of carving with the memory of the miners' lives.
